Description
a person named Julie Leach wanted to be my facebook friend. I declined the friend request. Then they sent me a messenger message saying; "Congratulations!!! I’m Julie Leach the Michigan Powerball PowerPlay Winner,You have been fortuitously picked among our electoral machine on Facebook lucky winners for those getting $100,000, this month 2025 from my giveaway program going on , are you ready to claim your winning money?" Of course I was sure it was a scam from the start, but their next message asked what I did for work and what I would spend the $100k on. That's about when I decided to block the account.
